NEW YORK (JTA)-The
newly established Center for
the Study of Anti-Semitism
(CSAS) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem is seeking to raise some $10 million
for research and training
programs.
According to Dr. Yehuda
Bauer, the Holocaust expert
and historian who organized
the CSAS and is its academic
chairman, the institution
will not only conduct research into the phenomenon
of anti-Semitism, its causes
and roots, but will also provide training, in a special
program, on how to combat
anti-Semitism.
In an interview with the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
here, Bauer said that the
Jewish people, along with
Christians, have to fight
anti-Semitism all oyer the
world. "Anti-Semitism is a

Sol Derfler, chairman of
the Dec, 23 Jewish Community Blood Drive, received
quite a surprise last week
when visiting the Columbus
Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.
He found, in statistics
compiled by the Red Cross,
that while the Jewish community has maintained a relatively stable number of
donors over the years, it currently falls far below the city
average of donors under 35
years of age. At the same
time, Jewish donors over 35
years of age, especially
those in the 60 and over category, greatly exceed the
area average, a whopping 12
tol.
What this means, Derfler
points out, is that at some
point in time, in the not too
far distant future, the Jewish
Community Blood Drive
could be in big trouble. And
that could mean trouble for
the entire community because the Red Cross depends
on, volunteer donors for its
supply of blood.
The Red Cross operates on
the principle of "community,
responsibility," according to
Red Cross, spokesperson
; Doreen Bretz. "Because the
members of the community
give blood, everyone in the
community can receive it,"
she explains. They pay only
the Red Cross blood process
ing fees and for necessary
laboratory tests, like typing
and cross matching, performed by the hospital, she
says. The blood itself is free,
and while the Red Cross encourages replacement of the
blood used, this is hot mandatory.
Derfler feels, that young
people may be squeamish
about giving blood or may
believe that, because this is
a relatively affluent society
needed blood can always be
purchased. '
This is not the case, he is
quick to point out and urges
parents to remind their children, "When I needed it, it
was there." If children do
not continue the tradition of
giving, he. notes, the day
may come when vital blood
is no longer available.
The Jewish Community
Blood Drive will be held Dec.
23 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.
at Agudas Achim Synagogue, 2767 E. Broad St. As

disruption to society as a
whole, unravelling the social
and economic orders of
entire countries.
Bauer pointed out that
anti-Semitism is presently
on the rise all over the world.
He said, however, in
response to a question, that
"nobody can foretell
whether a Holocaust against
the Jewish people would take
place again." He added that
an outbreak of anti-Semitism "that would endanger,
the Jewish people" cannot,
however, be ruled out. He
said that centers of anti-
Semitism are the United
Nations,, the Soviet Union
and, increasingly, the European countries.
A Driving Force Behind
The Center
One of the driving forces
"behind the; CSAS is Vildai
Sassoon, the Jewish celebrity and businessman, who
has been touring the United
States with Bauer, helping to
raise funds for the CSAS.
Sassoon, who was also interviewed by the JTA, said that
he faced anti-Semitism when
he was growing up in a
London Jewish neighbor-
introduced to the idea of
establishing^ the CSAS. "The
idea appealed to me and I
started to work for it," Sassoon said.
His connections in the entertainment world have
